Abstract: Since the advent of Unicode, electronic representation of regional language script is not as issue. However, transliteration is inevitable in a database designed to meet the needs of people who does not know that language. By transliteration, a unique name in one language or culture may have variant spelling in another language. The cataloguer maintainsname authority file to solve this problem.

Abstract: Since the days of Cutter, tools to access the resources of libraries are changing their structure and interface rapidly and dramatically to fulfill the dynamic user needs. Today almost every library user comes with expectations set and defined by their experience of using the Web. So the catalogues, which are offered by the libraries, need to operate at the same level of sophistication as other popular Web destinations. The “next generation” library catalog is a tool designed to fit into this shifting environment and move librarianship into a more active role when it comes to increasing the sphere of knowledge. The purpose of the paper to examine the present developments and explores the likely future developments in re-designing the OPAC to support resource discovery. The different ongoing developments follow a unique approach, but one thread that is common in all of them is that they involve a desire to go far beyond the capabilities of legacy catalogues and give library users more powerful and appealing tools.

Abstract: Agharkar Research Institute, Pune is a grant-in-aid research institute of the Department of Science and Technology, Government of India. The current research activities encompass biological sciences and focus on three broad areas: Animal Sciences, Microbial Sciences and Plant Sciences. The web site www.aripune.org has been launched to present the scientific activities and achievements of the institute. Information about ARI library is one of the important features of the web site. The present paper attempts to discuss the planning and strategies adopted for the implementation of WEB OPAC activities of the library. The discussion is based on actual experience gained during this process. We advocate that it is not necessary to provide access to all the data or information through Internet. However, it is always better to keep separate the locally and globally accessible information. We further discuss the issue of WEB OPAC of reprints of papers published by the scientists of our institute. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/1944/225 Files in this item: 1
